Cadmium, Urine

This test is typically ordered to monitor industrial workers with high risk of exposure to Cadmium. The Cadmium urine test is effective for detecting long-term exposure while the cadmium blood test can be a better measure of acute or recent exposure.

Test Details

Cadmium is exposed when mining lead and zinc. It is used in batteries, fertilizers and PVC plastics. Cigarettes also contain cadmium. The toxicity affects the liver, placenta, lungs, brain, kidneys and bones. Certain reservoirs that contain shellfish can contain cadmium, and it is often found in the soil through the use of pesticides.
